How to shell water chestnut Many people like to eat water chestnut, but for many people with broken hands, eating water chestnut is actually not a very simple thing. Anyone who has eaten water chestnut knows that water chestnut, whether cooked or raw, has a hard shell and two sharp horns, so many people will be annoyed when eating water chestnut. So, how should the water chestnut be peeled?
1. Water chestnut has irregular surface and can only be peeled by hand. Learn the following three steps, you can taste the delicious water chestnut more conveniently!
2. First, find the protruding part of the water chestnut center and cut it with a knife (the demonstration is a four-corner water chestnut, and the peeling method of two water chestnuts is the same).
3. After cutting, cut to the left and right and turn the shell up.
4. Finally, grab the two corners of the water chestnut and peel them off.
Special peeling tool First of all, I recommend several peeling artifacts, one of which is specially used for peeling water chestnuts. Both raw water chestnuts and cooked water chestnuts can be peeled with this tool. This tool is not only easy to shell, and does not need much effort, but also very important, that is, it is safer. If children eat water chestnut, it will be safer to use special tools.
You can break it with a knife first. If we don't prepare shelling tools in advance, we still have a very simple way, that is, use a knife! Whether it is cooked or raw, it is first broken in the middle with a knife, and then the shell is peeled off by hand. This method is actually used by many families, because the shelling artifact is not easy to buy outside, and it is faster and more convenient for many people to use it when frying water chestnuts.
Try not to bite with your teeth. Many children like to eat water chestnut directly with their teeth. In fact, it is very unsafe and unsanitary to eat like this. In particular, there may be some parasitic bacteria on the raw water chestnut, which will directly eat the parasitic bacteria and easily cause diarrhea. The key point is that water chestnut has two sharp horns. If you bite directly with your teeth, you may stab your mouth. Don't bite with your teeth. Try to use a peeling artifact or knife!
